I really like gunbroker.com. I drop ridiculous low bids on guns that interest me and occasionally they hold up. $300 AirForce Condor, $800 RAW HM1000x etc. Other than the rare occasion when a really beautiful older British wood stock rifle shows up. Then my bank account is under severe threat.

Well, I am a long term veteran of USENET (newsgroups), my first post was 1981. I am, in general, not a big fan of any moderation. My opinion is you are responsible for who and what you read. But these days people expect someone else to be responsible for an awful lot of things. Putting the work...

Not all, they need to have a pin valve. FX is a good example. My Snowpeak Max 1 does but the gun has a plenum and an over the barrel volume so when you unscrew the tube a lot of air is released. The FX Bobcat just unscrew and just a bit of air is released. Some bottle guns have pin valves, my...

I had 3 UTG Accushot 4-16x44, the bugbuster big brother. They were okay, sold them all. Why, the CVLife scopes I have are just superior, but they are FFP 5-25x56. For the same price (or were before tariffs). CVLife seems to have upped their quality over the last couple years. Personally I'd...

As someone that shoots off a tripod almost exclusively the weight of a bottle is not important to me. I also prefer to swap in CF bottles and regulate my unregulated rifles. That allows the 4500psi fills and a consistent breech pressure. I also like playing around with plenums. As I don't have...

I'm a LOT more comfortable with the fairly light and frankly rational moderation on HAM. Try discussing a moderation issue on the other site and boom your account is nuked and any classifieds you had are no longer accessible. Although you get weekly emails to update those dead classifieds...

The foster fitting has fairly deep thread and the fittings are 4000psi. The bottle is filled from the regulator so it was superfluous. The interior hole is probably 6-7mm as opposed to the gauge hole of maybe less than 2mm. Using the gauge hole wasnt an option. Definitely ugly but it works. Only...

That may be a bad manometer. The one on the regulator was at 2500psi

850fps, 70fpe, 1800psi, 43gr slugs. May crank the regulator up to 2200psi. Boss slug gun works 😁

Well, at 2500psi on the regulator I'm getting almost 1000fps. Before it was 875fps. Bring the regulator down to 2000psi and it should be solid. Had to reset everything, the adjustable transfer port was sitting mid scale. So the previous numbers were wrong.

Got the parts for this one and built it up. Been in leak check since Saturday. Forgot about it due to my fun with the FX Boss slug project. Appears to have a very slow leak. 500psi since Saturday. Will test it out this weekend with the Boss.

What are you making?

3/8 x 3/32 worked until the 90 duro arrived. Little larger but no issues. But I have 24 more of the 9.3x2.4. Minimum order was 25.

Well, this has been an adventure. Ordered new poppet and valve seat(s) and various small parts I will drop and lose. Turns out the valve seat can be installed backwards. Helps to look at the drawings. That took a while to get all sealed up. Reassembled everything but then it wouldn't cock...

I just checked my BearPower and it looks fine. Not sure it is as crisp as the BearSwift but it looks good. I give it a nod over the Westhunter. Forgot I have a CVLife EagleBlaze 5-25x50. ED glass like the BearMight but I'm guessing my old eyes just can't see the difference between it and the...

Yeah, without their software they suck. My progression was Cheap shoot through (2 or 3, one left) Shooting Chrony (2) Caldwell Cheap Chinese talking chrony (5) FX Archery Chronograph Haven't used anything else since I got the FX. The talking chrony have posts on the end for various diameter...

I have a bunch of Chinese talking chrony, 2 Shooting Chrony (Alpha and beta), a Bluetooth shoot through and a Caldwell that all just sit on the shelf since I bought the FX. I may buy a 2nd as backup.

I think the limit is 1100FPS so if you are planning to shoot supersonic it may not work. Utah says 1300FPS, but unless i crank my .22 Talon up to 2500PSI and use light pellets I cant test the 1100FPS limit.

Only have 1 Bearpower. Have not used it that much but the glass seems the same as the BearSwift. I'll find it and verify. I deal with Spina through AliBaba, "Alice Spina" takes very good care of me. Before tariffs I bought my scopes off Alibaba. Have not "needed" many since tariffs so...
